"You know that weird thing we do with tech products? We buy them, we use them every day, but then we kind of hide them. Tuck the speaker behind the plant. Stash the lamp in the corner. As if apologizing for needing functional things in our homes. IKEA's new collaboration with Swedish designer Tekla Evelina Severin (known as Teklan) is here to flip that script entirely."
"At the heart of the collection is the SOLSKYDD family, a trio of round Bluetooth speakers that refuse to be boring. The smallest is an 8-inch portable speaker in orange with a pattern that practically demands attention. The medium version comes in green with brown and beige diagonal stripes that feel very 70s but in the best possible way. And the largest? An 18-inch wall-mounted beast in textured orange that can even connect to a screen."
"Then there's the KULGLASS lamp speakers, which might be my favorite thing about this entire launch. Teklan designed them to look like soft-serve ice cream, because why shouldn't your tech look like dessert? They come in mint green and a red-brown with pink combo, and they work as both lamps and Bluetooth speakers. The built-in volume knob is a nice tactile touch in a world where everything is controlled by tapping a screen."
IKEA partnered with Swedish designer Tekla Evelina Severin to create a product line that celebrates visible, playful technology. The Teklan collection emphasizes bold patterns, nostalgic color palettes, and vintage-inspired shapes that make speakers and lamps focal points in the home. SOLSKYDD includes three round Bluetooth speakers: an 8-inch portable orange model, a medium green model with brown and beige diagonal stripes, and an 18-inch wall-mounted textured orange speaker capable of connecting to a screen. KULGLASS pieces combine lamp and speaker functions, offer mint and red-brown/pink colorways, and include a tactile built-in volume knob. Acoustics were engineered by Ola Wihlborg.
